"I hereby grant khalfani the millennium scale and ankh and decree that he is indeed the rightful owner of the millennium items" says shaadi "for 5000 years I have served the pharaoh Atem but now I accept khalfani as being the rightful heir to the throne and offer my services once again to the new pharaoh" "but what about Yami" asks yuugi teary-eyed "its alright Yami is right here he wishes he could talk to you"...."wait why cant he? I have that power don't I?" "why of course all you must do is concentrate" explains shaadi "khalfani focuses the items the ancient knowledge within the items flashes through his brain along with everyone who has ever held a millennium item and how to use them and then the flashing starts and he sees ancient Egypt burning from the war he witnesses the bloody creation of the items and their first use he closes his eyes to the horrors and when he opens them he is lying on the floor and yuugi and Yami yuugi are standing over him. "Hmm? Yami?" khalfani leaps up and pats Yami to see if he is real "it's really you in the flesh" "yes thanks to you. You passed out a few seconds after materializing me" "I had a horrible vision but we can talk about that later how does it feel to have flesh again?" "Hm...it feels great and my memory is slowly returning but the most important part is that I'm here with yuugi in the flesh now not just in his mind" khalfani and yuugi and Yami yuugi talk for a long time but the images khalfani saw keep haunting him whenever he sleeps at night he sees their mangled bodies and hears their screams of pain, the sound of women screaming and children crying. Of soldiers coming in and looting and raping as they please and he thinks to himself this is still going on today. he looks through the flames in his nightmare and he sees a small child whose only crime was being in the wrong village at the wrong time he watches as the Childs unconscious body burns and he reaches to grab her but the flames burn him he wakes up abruptly in a cold sweat he looks at his hands and sees burns.
he gets up turns on the TV and sees a politician saying "this is not a declaration of war this is just a police action" he gets so angry he shoots the television with the millennium rod Yami and yuugi run in "what happened!?" "Nothing I thought I saw something....its nothing" says khalfani. he said nothing else to Yami or yuugi all he left was a note reading "I have been given the items to make a difference I can see that now. This is the reason for the nightmares the items are trying to tell me what I need to do. I'm going to make the world a better place" khalfani thinks to himself "if I am to purge the world of evil, I need to cut it off at the head...America" khalfani boards the nearest plane to America. As he looks out the window he sees Japan under him like a tiny little island on a map. He thinks to himself "I will be back" few hours later he arrives in California he walks down the street looking at the buildings. About that time he passes by some punks who see his golden millennium items "hey buddy what's the hurry" remarks one of them as he blocks his path "hey that's some nice jewelry you got there" says another. "ya real nice how about you hand it over" remarks a third one as he pulls out a knife "out of my way I have no business with you scum" remarks khalfani "what did he call us" shouts the forth one as they all pull out their switchblades. "Lets teach this jerk some manors" they all charge at khalfani and as they do khalfani disappears and one stabs the other as they look up they see him drop down from the sky and shoot the remaining 2 with the millennium rod. "I would say its time for me to teach you manners" replies khalfani as he uses the millennium ankh to erase the seeds of hatred and greed from their minds. Khalfani places his card "interdimensional mater transporter" back in his deck and continues on his way. As khalfani reads their minds, he sees names, faces, and locations of hundreds more like them all quibbling over such small things as territory, money, women, and foolish pride. This compelled khalfani to go to their hideout. As he enters he gets greeted with a .9 mm pointed at his head. "Who the hell do you think you is comin' up in a brother's crib like that" khalfani simply stands silent. "Yo wassup ain't you got a mouth? I said who the hell do you..." the rod glows and the man lowers his gun. The other six look at him "what the fuck did you do to him" asks one pulling out his gun. Upon seeing this, the first one stands in front of khalfani. "Yo yo yo it's cool he's a friend." the others put away their guns. Khalfani then uses the rod to clear their minds. "I feel as though I had just awoken from a bad dream" says on of the gang members "you have" says khalfani "you are the first of many to awaken from the nightmare of this world and into a new modern day utopia. We have much work to do. Many more still suffer the torment of that nightmare. However, I can save them. But I cannot do it alone. I need your help. Will you help me?" "You have our help" says Jason Williams, previous leader of the red snakes. "Good" says khalfani. "Rest up. Tomorrow we wake the black tigers" after many successful conversions, khalfani controlled all small gangs in California. "what do you mean there is no crime?" says Sergeant Bruce Anderson SFPD "this is San Francisco there is always crime" "look for yourself crime is down 98 percent worse crime reported in the last week was a stolen bike on oak street." says officer Cruz "what the hell is going on?" "We believe it's merely the calm before the storm. Word on the street has it small time gangs and mob bosses from all over California are mobilizing. If they all work together, it may prove difficult, if not imposable to stop them." "Good god! Get on the phone bring in the state boys, get every department on this. "Aye sir" as they scurry about preparing a pre-emptive strike, a man in the room with blank eyes watches everything. "it seems we have attracted some attention" says khalfani to himself "it seems my opportunity to cleans the corruption from the police force will come sooner than I expected." khalfani sends out information saying his army is meeting at 506 e Calhoun street tomorrow night at 8 pm. the police forces mobilize and swarm the area. 2 squads bust in only to find khalfani standing there alone. "Drop the rod and get down on the floor!" yells one of the team members. "I have no qualms with you. You are merely doing your job. It's your commanding officers who are corrupt."' "I said get down on the ground" "how can I? I was never here." the rod glows and resonates with the other items "this room was empty" says khalfani "the room is clear! There is no one here!" the teams move out and Sgt. Anderson walks into the room. Suddenly the room darkens and from the darkness emerges khalfani. "Sgt. Anderson first class, promoted to Sgt. after a successful drug bust on phoenix drive. However, what you never told anyone was that you were the major seller there." "Who are you and how do you know about phoenix drive." "We aren't talking about me, we are talking about you. You're no better than those you arrest. YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE! You arrest drug dealers and then turn around and sell their stock for a high price. " "who the hell are you to judge me?! At least I'm not raising an army! I'm just making a living" "I'm not raising an army I'm cleansing this world of the impurities that haunt the human psyche, The greed, envy, and bloodlust that lock humans into a perpetual cycle of torment. I'm not making an army; I'm making a new world. And you're going to help" "the hell I am! " "It's clear your mind is too polluted with the filth of the city. Allow me to clear up the fog!" a few moments later the Sergeant awakens, suddenly feeling as though a major weight had been pulled off his shoulders. Khalfani works his way through the government cleansing people's minds and within a year, has full control of the government. He then opens a lab where he begins hiring the best scientists in their fields to begin study on a new and improved duel disk using the millennium rings ability to bring the cards to life. "So how is research going" "we have made much research using the data we collected from your use of millennium ring we have figured out how the ring does it. In combination with the duel disk technology we believe it possible to make a new model" "tell me when the research is complete, and remember your confidentiality agreement" "khalfani is in the newspaper" says yuugi. "who cares about him" remarks jounouchi "it says here he has become an overnight success" remarks Yami "apparently he is rivaling bill gates and seto kaiba as one of the richest men in the world with his newest acquisition of DuPont laboratories a leading producer of household and industrial items" reads anzu "seems he is doing good for himself" remarks Honda "I still don't trust him" remarks jounouchi "he won fair and square" says yuugi "and besides its thanks to him Yami is back in the flesh" "hey I know lets go visit him I have some flier miles saved up" "sounds great" says yuugi
